Story About Cat and Pitcher.

The following was written by an
Indian pupil at Hampton Institute:
A man he has one COW and one old
cat. One evening he want to get some
milk, and he went to that COW. He is
milk his COW, but he not got much milk.
When the man got through milk, and
when come home, that cat come with
him. She want some milk to drink,
and looked up all the time, but that
man didn't want give to him, and that
cat want some very much, and cry
every minutes new, new, and that cat
going try jumped up on that man, and
holds up his tail and followed that man
everywhere the man went. When
that man got home his wife took milk
pail and poured in pitcher and put on
the table, and that cat is watching all
the time. And the pitcher is milk in
it, but not much, Just half. After she
pouring this milk she go in other room,
and she heard noise, and she come and
see what is making noise, and there
was the cat caught her head in the
pitcher, and can't get out. After few
minutes he heard something, and he
think somebody come after him. and
jumped up, and that cat come down
from that table and cannot take it off
that pitcher, and run away with that
pitcher, and two boys run after him.
OF course that cat can't see anything
so he just keep on running until he got
into the water and got drowned, so
guess this cat is dead of stealing. -

Joe Black.

The first time | ever saw Joe Black
he was out on the sidewalk in front of
the house where he lived. 1t was a
sharp winter morning. He had coat
on, but no hat. There were number
of boys out on the sidewalk, too; and
Joe was looking on to see them play
rather than playing with them. Some
of them were sliding along on the ice
in the gutter, others were snow-balling
and all seemed to be having fine time.
Pretty soon man came along. Joe
was busy watching the boys, and did
not see or hear the man until he was
close upon him. The man had heavy
out rather angrily to Joe, Sect out of
the way!" Joe was not little fright
ened at the harsh tone in which the
man spoke to him, and got out of the
way as quickly as he could. Some boys
would have answered this rude man
rudely back, and perhaps told him to
get out of the way himself; but Joe
took the roughness very meekly. The
next morning Joe was out again; only
this time he had not got as far as the
sidewalk, but was standing on the door
steps, looking up and down the street,
and wondering what he should do.
While he was so standing and wonder
ing the same man came along who had
spoken to him so unkindly the day be-
fore. He had what looked like the
same bundle on his shoulder. The
man did not see Joe; but Joe saw him,
and recognized him. But he kept per-
fectly still, and watched him 90 by.
Presently the man, as he walked along,
put his hand in his side-pocket and
pulled out his handkerchief. In so
doing, he pulled out one of his mittens,
too. 1t fell, unseen by its owner, upon
the sidewalk When he put his hand
kerchief back in his pocket he did not
miss the mitten. There it lay, just
where it fell, the man walking faster
and faster away. Some boys in Joe's
cross man had lost his mitten, and
would hope that he might never find it..
Not so Joe Black. He saw what had
happened-the handkerchief taken out,
the mitten fallen and left lying on the
walk, the man unconscious even that
he had dropped it, 1t took him but a
moment to decide that he ought to 90
and restore the mitten to its owner. l
don't know that he so much as thought
of the cross way the man had spoken
to him the day before. If he did, he
did not cherish any resentment. So off
he started down the steps and along
the walk until he came to the mitten.
Picking it up, he ran on after the man
as fast as his legs could carry him. In
stead of calling out to him, he waited
until he got close behind him, and then
gently touched his hand. The man
turned round to see who touched him
There stood Joe. holding up the nit
ten. "Well done!n said the man, rec
ognizing the mitten and feeling in his
pocket at the same moment. "Well
donei Where did you find that ?''
And he took the mitten and put it back
in his pocket. Joe only wagged his
tail; for he was nothing but great
Newfoundland dog, Joe Black, and he
couldn't speak word. But l have
sometimes thought that he was more of
gentleman than the man who dropped
his mitten. AT any rate, he knew how
to return good for evil. Do you ?

A bill has been introduced in the

the case that the rivalry between local

sure of the bonuses paid to the other

Of ~ 900 and the privilege of charging

Another Fraud Upon Farmers,

This time it is the "Wire-Fence
Man." He calls upon farmer, to
ask of him permission to exhibit to
the farmers of the vicinity his new
fence-wire stretcher, upon his farm.
In consideration tor this privilege he
will build for the farmer thirty or
forty rods ofgood fence, wherever he
NAV want it. All that he asks of the
.ariner IS, to boart: him, to go for the
machine at the depot and pay the
charges on the machine, not over
three dollars. In order to have 1t all
understood, the farmer is asked to
sign contract to the above things,
written on q postal card, which the
fence-man mails to his partner. At
ter the machine arrives, q new man
turns UP, to demand 5000, the price OF
the machine. The farmer then learns
to his astonishment, that the econ
tract" for board, etc that he thought
he was signing, was really an order
for the machine, at the price of $500.
This last conner claims TO he the, at
torney for the company making the
machine, and by threats of bringing Il
suit in the u. S. Court, forces some
1lnd of q settlement of his fra dulent
claim. Our injunction needs repeat
ing once more: Farmers, sign
nothing for strangers !'-American
